Our goals are based on protecting personnel, property, businesses, and the homeland from both foreign and domestic threats. We accomplish our goals by providing skilled and trained off-duty active and retired law enforcement officers with a demonstrated history of good decision-making ability, dependability, reliability, and professionalism. By tapping the resources of local, state, and federal law enforcement we can hold our representatives more accountable while simultaneously limiting the risk and liability to ourselves and our clients. We have also placed ourselves in a better position than our competition to deter, anticipate, handle, and resolve security-based situations when confronted with them in our accepted responsibilities. We operate off of written directives based on United States Coastguard and United States Customs requirements and suggestions. We maintain an open line of communication with our representatives and our partners in the port community by staying involved with port functions, operational groups and organizations, and accessing all avenues of communication to enable a constant level of awareness, be better informed, and effectively trained. Our written Standard Operating Procedures incorporate everything from operational policies and procedures to strict professional appearance standards. We also operate under written safety policies and an implemented drug and substance abuse policy.
